Sometimes baseball can be simple, other times not so much. The Rays posted their lineup Wednesday afternoon without assigning positions to corner outfielders Jason Bourgeois and Sam Fuld — note the 0 under POS. The reason was that manager Joe Maddon wanted more data and input on which position was likely to be more difficult. He eventually decided left was, and put Fuld there. (Ironically, Bourgeois misplayed a drive to right into a double.)
